Delivering Second Lecture in 2003-2004
Russell Banks CEO Leadership Series

Sallie Krawcheck, the highest-level woman working on Wall
Street, will speak on "Business Leadership" at Baruch
College on Wednesday, February 18, 2004 at 7:15 pm. Ms. Krawcheck,
Chairman and CEO of Smith Barney, a subsidiary of Citibank
and Wall Street’s largest brokerage, has been widely
credited with restoring the credibility of the company’s
securities analysts in the wake of the scandals that followed
the collapse of the Internet bubble.

Much reported on and frequently mentioned as a possible successor
to Citigroup chairman Sanford Weill, Krawcheck will address
a group of ambitious undergraduate business majors and MBA
candidates striving to make their own reputation on Wall Street.
The talk, part of the The Russell Banks CEO Leadership Series
at Baruch College, will be followed by a spirited Q &
A session. The entire event takes place in the Conference
Center of the College’s award-winning Newman Vertical Campus
building, at 55 Lexington Ave. (and 24th St.), Room 14-220.
